We have enough of a problem with American English:-))

For instance many words are both singular and plural. IE you do not
add an S to make them plural.

For example none of the following have an S added for plural.

Aircraft
Revolutions per minute (RPM it is not RPMs)
Deer
Bear
Moose

There are many more.

Probably the most misused is title and entitle. Entitle has been
misused so often that Michigan Tech added "entitle" to it's list of
words that should be banned from the language.

I used to make many trips to the UK for business. Lots of funny language
stories.
